Interesting tidbit about my delivery. My due date was sept 3. When I was 37 weeks baby was weighing 7.7 pounds. When I went in at 38.3 weeks I had low fluid and was induced. Jr came out healthy 7.4 pounds but they said he was a 37 week baby based off thinks like the creases in his hands.
This is to make you all aware due dates and week counts can be off.
Also I had no clue your baby loses weight while in the hospital
My son was estimated to be at almost 11lbs he was born at 8lbs 12oz. When we left the hospital he was 8lbs 2oz.
Babies are born swollen so when they get used to the outside they "lose" a couple ounces lol
My son was estimated to be 8lbs 6oz the week before he was born. He was 9lbs 13oz when he came out. He only lost 6oz in the hospital and gained them back in less than a week. I always thought my due date was off. They bumped me up a week at my first ultrasound and he always measured 2 weeks ahead at every other ultrasound I had. I had a bunch since I was high risk and my sister in law works at my OBs office. But he didn't come early like I thought he would. I was induced at 40+4. He was no where near coming on his own.
